PSA: Gmail's spam filters have gone bonkers [View all]

Hacker News user thyrox has a bad time with gmail's spam filters. Long discussion.

I don't know what is happening with Gmail but lately Gmail's aggressive spam filtering created a huge problem for me.

It was a reply I sent to an email yet Gmail somehow figured out it was spam and the other person never got it (which I learned after 1 week)

Two weeks before they sent the property tax notice (from the govt) in spam and had I missed that email there would have been a penalty.

This is a very old Gmail address almost 10 years or more so I don't know what's happening but I've stopped trusting Gmail altogether after this.


Seems that this has been a problem for some time.
Check the spam folder.
